Subject: Re: bin/30310: top does not show CPU usage

i'm encountering the same problem with a dual proc amd64 system on a ibm
e series server. this machine has been cvsup multiple times from 5.2.1
to the current 5.3-RELEASE. the problem started occurring on the
5.3-BETA release. i'm doing the usual make
buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld procedure, with
appropriate reboots as specified in the updating doc.
this is a pretty serious problem as we're in the middle of testing this
system vs. redhat AES on the same hardware. i'd really like to use bsd
as i think redhat aes server sucks, but it's a tough sell when you can't
get performance benchmarks (snmpd is reporting the same cpu stats, so
this obviously isn't a top issue).
thx
